MUMBAI - The Indian government told Malaysian investigators it has found no evidence that the missing Malaysia jet flew through its airspace, local media reported on Saturday.

According to Malaysian investigators, Indian side showed no findings after checking its radar records.

India's response is crucial as any of their radar data could help identify whether the jet turned north or south after disappearing on March 8, but the issue is also sensitive because of the presence of military radar.

Sources familiar with the situation between the two countries said India had formally told Malaysia that it had checked for any sign of the jet having touched its airspace and found nothing of significance, in response to Kuala Lumpur's diplomatic request.
